Desktop CR System

(Fremont, CA, USA) has developed a flexible, accurate, and cost-effective CR alternative in the CRystalView R200 system. Alara recently presented the new desktop CR system at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North American (RSNA) in Chicago (IL, USA) in November/December 2005.

"Imaging professionals get the best of both worlds with this product,” said Jim Walker, president and CEO of Alara. "The CRystalView R200 system offers the same exceptional performance found in premium CR systems, plus a compact size suitable for desktops or mobile applications. Whether used in private physician practices or large hospitals, the CRystalView R200 system offers excellent throughput and superb image quality at a competitive price.”

The system, including a CR reader, imaging plates, cassettes, quality control (QC) workstation and related software, gives users the performance and latest technology, including rapid acquisition of images with 12-pixels/mm pixel pitch (high resolution mode) and 16-bit grayscale resolution, which provides excellent quality for every image.

For demanding clinical environments such as ERs and large radiology
departments, this RIS system is an appropriate choice with its high throughput capability of 50-plus plates per hour for 14 x 17 images and only 60 seconds to image display. The CRystalView R200 system is also suitable as an adjunct for digital radiography (DR) where clinics and hospitals cannot afford to shut down their busy radiology practices.
